that immense iron pillars were
melted as if in foundry furnace.
The molten gold and silver attest,
how numerous must have been the
victims calcined. Even the rag
pickers rummaging in the carted-
away rubbish to the outskirts of the
city, "lava," as they call it, find it
profitable TO there ply their ordinary
calling. The colonel declines all
responsibility for his men: they
obeyed their instructions: they re-
ported what was detectives it was
the manager and the Project of
Police, to enforce the precautionary
regulations that were infringed.
Unhappily. like every public in
stitution in the country, authority
is divided, so much so, that no one
is really master, and still worse,
liable. There is now quite a stee-
ple-chase fervor, to ensure that the
theatres be life and fire proof. The
same zeal was displayed after the
Ring calamity at Vienna, in 1882.
Perhaps the decision of the insur-
ance companies, to reserve the right
TO consider the policies of the in
sured who 60 to dangerous theatres,
as forfeited, will do more to pro-
mote vigilance and safety, than the
spasmodic energy of Circumlocution
& Co. The insurance offices have
received sixty-three demands to pay,
from the families of the victims.
The offices will try and hold the
company which formed the Opera
Comique, responsible. A law, voted
under the Directory, is still in force,
requiring that the Waterman of the
theatre, accompanied by a dog,
should, after the departure of the
spectators, visit every part of the
house to see no fire smouldered, no
spectator was sleeping under the
seats. Some of the theatres have
in their lumber rooms the dog of
Montargis perhaps, but stuffed, and
nailed on stand.
1t is said, that, according to the
books of the police, of persons who
practise irregular industries" in
Paris, 4l6 live by selling straight
tips" Yet not one of these wise
men and women, since the fair sex
trade in second sight applied to the
race course-were able to spot the
winner for the Grand Prix the ami
nal was TenGbreuse, in any case.
Hence, the necessity of never pre-
dieting, save that of which one is
sure. Monarque was the crack with
the French, but out of excess of
gallantry, he became lame so had
to he scratched and left the laurels
to his stepsister Tenebreuse. 1t is
uncertain as to the sire Of the latter.
Louis XIV once observed, IL can
not vouch who is my father, but l
can, that my mother was the first
lady in France" Monarque won
the French Derby fortnight ago
at Chantilly. Tenebreuse has gained
what may be called the French
Ascot at Longchamps, so the united
winnings-260, 000fr., is not bad
for NJ. Aumont. The admission
receipts figured to 294, 000fr., the
total of the officially conducted bet
ting was nearly 1900, 000fr. for
having sanctioned gambling in
Tonkin to augment the revenue, it
was only natural the mother coun-
try would extend that phase of
civilization to Partisan, while en-
abling the poors' rates to be light
ened, as on the total of the bets,
two per cent is struck, to re-
lieve the INDECENT, that which means
in the present case 2G,000fr. In
Monaco, the gambling pays all the
wants of the needy.
Perhaps the exceptional features
about the day, were the eXtraordi-
nary favorable weather, and the
multitude of spectators and of
vehicles. TO the credit of the
humber classes, the total of their
gambling was about one-sixth of
the whole amount risked. The slid
ing scale of vice, has three sections,
8, 10 and 20fr. per lottery ticket.
The few who went in for the dark
tilly, must have enjoyed windfall.
Yet so great was the enthusiasm of
the French, at their stable having
won, that they cheered, 100000
Threats strong, despite the money
they must have dropped. The poor
English had for consolation, the
winner had been ridden to glory by
one of their jocks. The attendance
of fashionables was very great, and
the absence of the Chief of the State
and his family, was the comment on
every tongue. President Grevy was
led to expect, the occasion of his
presence might be improved to get
up a Boulanger manifestation. A
good many sprigs of the English
nobility were present to observe,
likely the working of the Cont
mental Sunday. OF course they all
went to an early church service, so
"meus sibi conscia recti."
The beautiful day was eagerly
seized by mondains, demi-mondains,
and greater mondains, to show off
toilettes, which in the aggregate re-
called the most brilliant rainbows,
whose dominant colors were, blue,
white, green, and claret--to take
